Hostess Twinkies, RIP

Hostess Brands Inc., the maker of Wonder Bread and Twinkies, announced today that it will liquidate because not enough striking employees returned to work by a Thursday evening deadline set by the company. Story here. (AP file photo)

Quotable Quote: Sorry. I have to decline any further comment on the #Hostess issue. What with the Ding Dongs and Ho Ho's it can only get more embarrassing! -- Cindy's tweet.

Question: Has anyone out there eaten a Twinkie in the last month?
